▶ New Ultra Small RFID Tags Deliver Long Read Range

Tired of having to sacrifice tag size for read range? What happens when you design UHF RFID tags (http://www.impinj.com/Monza_5_RFID_Ta...) capable of adapting to the item which they are attached? You get ultra-small form factors capable of achieving the performance levels of tags twice, even three times its size! In fact the new MuTRAK tag is only 49mm2 and can achieve read distances of up to 14 meters --And that's why we'd like to introduce you to the latest RFID tags and inlays from our our partner TAGSYS RFID.

▶ RFID Retail Determining Business Case

With more than 100 RFID apparel programs worldwide, and public validation from major retailers that tagging at the item level offers high ROI, the ramp-up has begun. Item-level RFID heralds a new data driven approach to optimizing on-shelf availability for customers by casting a spotlight on normally invisible parts of retail operations. But the decision to implement RFID remains challenging. In this session learn how retailers are using RFID at the source and in the store, how they are deploying across stores and categories, and a new method for determining the value of RFID for your business.

Clondalkin Pharma & Healthcare announces major investment in serialization technology | Track & Trace | Scoop.it
The investment will support track and trace capability for product movement as well as provide authentication, improved brand protection and increased consumer confidence.

The finished cartons are fed into a coding stream that utilizes a print head and UV dryer allowing fast coding speeds, while the twin vericam camera data inspection system verifies application. This facilitates application, code verification to the master data and readability. An automated rejection process is also included.

▶ Track & Trace Solutions / HSA Systems provides low cost serialization solutions

One of the big challenges is not as much how to package products but how to apply track-and-trace on packaging lines at high rates and subsequently ensure integration with multiple IT systems. Legislators want a unique number on each product that must pass down the distribution chain to create a pedigree for that product. However, for serialized bar codes, because of the line-of-sight requirement, you have to create parent/child relationships, so that what's in the box is associated with the unique barcode on the case. This allows distributors to "infer" what is inside. HSA Systems provides item, case, and pallet serialization at the packaging line and site level. In deciding whether to use preprinted or coded tags, our preference is to print or code at the packaging line because it's more controllable, particularly in high-speed operations. The cost to code each individual item is a factor. With printed 2D codes the cost is relatively low compared to RFID tags.

Pharma Track & Trace Regulations

Pharma Track & Trace Regulations | Track & Trace | Scoop.it
Drug Counterfeiting is becoming a global issue. The United Nations have already established a Task Force to combat Drug Counterfeiting worldwide (WHO | International Medical Products Anti-Counterfeiting Taskforce — IMPACT) and more and more countries are establishing legislation to fight counterfeit drugs. Just recently (Nov. 18, 2013), the US Senate has voted for a US-wide law that ultimately will require serialization on the smallest sellable unit of pharmaceutical drugs. This blog is intended to provide some background and a brief overview on current and anticipated regulations.

Why We Still Can't Track an Airplane

Why We Still Can't Track an Airplane | Track & Trace | Scoop.it
The overarching problem with tracking planes is the vast expanse of earth devoid of radar coverage: Most of the oceans, polar regions, and areas of Africa, Asia, and South Africa—as much as 80 percent of the world—are “a blind spot to surveillance,” the director of Nav Canada, the company that runs the country's air traffic control system, told the National Post last week. That means ubiquitous flight tracking via satellite is likely inevitable across the industry, and not just among major airlines with flights across the world.

Tackling Track-and-Trace: An Overview and Pathway to a Solution

Tackling Track-and-Trace: An Overview and Pathway to a Solution | Track & Trace | Scoop.it
The purpose of track-and-trace regulation in the pharmaceutical industry is to stem the flow of illegal and dangerous counterfeit medicines. These medicines represent a significant public health challenge. No central authority has all the information necessary to track and trace drugs across the global supply chain, much less quantify the extent of counterfeiting. This whitepaper summarizes the key regulations in play on both continents and suggests a compliance solution based on a combined process and technology approach to track-and-trace.

The Benefits of Adding Item-Level RFID

The Benefits of Adding Item-Level RFID | Track & Trace | Scoop.it
RFID is supplanting barcodes for many applications because it can be scanned much more quickly, a benefit initially felt by the retailers themselves. Distribution centers were the next to start seeing benefits because inventory controls and order fulfillment can be verified as shipments move through multiple gates.
